Who they were

A priest of Lanuvio in the diocese of Albano who served as an infantryman in the First World War, he founded the Institute of the Sisters Workers of Jesus in 1926 and died at Civitavecchia.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause was opened in the diocese of Civitavecchia-Tarquinia in 2006, with the nihil obstat in February 2007.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
